Anyone else experiencing problems today?

The power went at 2.30am...came back on soon after

Woke up to no water though

We still had no power when I left for work at 7.15am. Water pressure was extremely low.

Mrs and kids are getting washed with the water from the kettle

Worsthorne school is closed today however the power is off so they cannot text/contact parents, help spread the word.

Thanks for the heads up, MACCA - My lad is in reception

Bit early to get there pete

Both off at ours, I heard a bang but thought the wind had knocked the bins over.

It looks as though there was a gas explosion on Brownside Road just before the bridge and an electricity sub station explosion on Buttermere Ave. I think it’s safe to say these events are the reason for loss of power and water.

Fire at a substation and power hopefully back by 230pm according to LET. Affecting BB10 area and 500 homes

Panic buying bog roll and pasta is one think but buying up all the water and electricity is well out of order

There was an explosion and fire at a substation near Brownside bridge last night. Fire was put out around 5.30 but power is still off in some parts of Worsthorne, others have no water.

Hosepipe ban ?

I hear there's been a big fire in the factory units down Brun Terrace Brownside around 2am. Whether that had anything to do with the utility problems.

Nope, as stated above underground electrical fire was on Brownside road near the bridge.

Water tankers parked up on Brownside Rd, so I guess you could go collect some with a bucket if anyone in dire need.....sorry just logged in to say, tankers now gone!

Power has gone again

Ours is back on.

Here as well, nearly a riot at dinner time
